Abstract: Exams assessment is one of the most tedious work for university teachers all over the world. Multiple choice theses make exams assessment a little bit easier, but the teacher cannot prepare more than 3-4 variants; in this case, the possibility of students for cheating from one another becomes a risk for "objective assessment outcome." On the other hand, even when the exams are organized with multiple-choices, the time for student's outcome takes up relatively too much time. We have developed a platform which tries to eliminate the time-range and is appropriate for big-sized classrooms testing. It works as follows: The teacher prepares for every exam-question, a JPG file, in simple words precisely an e-picture, preferably with the same dimensions for all photos. It is easy to make use of sniping tool from windows. Let us consider the exam-paper will contain 60 questions/exercises (can be up to 100). Every student will have all these 60 questions/exercises in his/her thesis, in a uniquely personalized version, but randomly ordered by computer. This means that every thesis/exam-paper has the corresponding unique solution key for the outcome, and only the computer knows it, by using the same combine logic with every generated variant of exam-paper. Consequently, the teacher prepares 60 JPG photos which are saved in USB memory stick folder. With this USB, teacher presents to the faculty secretary (printing center) the number of students he/she has and the folder where the photos are stored in the relevant USB. An operator, at teacher's presence, automatically generates and prints 60 different versions of the exam-papers, using Microsoft Word with a special macro code written in Visual Basic in order to design the proper page making. The secretary also prints a personalized answer sheet, with a student photo for everyone. It is very important for e-students, because minimum time is needed for student's authentication during exams. All answer-sheets are automatically scanned via "SEKRETAR" software (Copyright Romeo Teneqexhi, ZSHDA) and the outcome is generated immediately after the exam procedures. The process could also be handled by the secretary, but it can be used by the teacher himself in the exam classroom. The teacher only needs a laptop and a simple scanner in exam classroom. For the future, we plan to substitute this laptop-scanner-system with the teacher's smart phone. All the above services and provisions can be offered to all teachers by logging to a web platform.
